Indanthrene Blue is a deep color cherished for its dark hue, which balances between an intense blue with a hint of violet. This pigment is renowned for its exceptional permanence.
Indanthrene Blue originates from synthetic dyes developed in the early 20th century. Initially used in the textile industry due to its stability and resistance, it quickly became a favorite among painters for its ability to retain unaltered depth and richness of tone.
When paired with transparent yellows like Isaro Light Yellow or Chartreuse Yellow, it creates deep, natural greens, perfect for dense foliage or landscapes. Combined with Isaro Rose, it produces vibrant, deep purples. Mixed with Payne’s Grey, it enhances shadows and cool tones, making it ideal for nocturnal atmospheres or winter scenes.
